lol @ mas. Swap it out!! Then it is better again.

I tried, and im still trying to swap it out, duxbury says I should upgrade my firmware, netgear says i should reset my router, if they will read their emails properly im sure they wud've noticed that I did follow those steps, i contacted duxbury again, they said I will get a ref number, still waiting!!!
all i want is a freakin swap out but ya, their service sux!
i guess patience is a virtue!

I have DG834 (v2). Had severe lightning a while back with a power dip - modem/router was plugged into UPS, but somehow got damaged (all the LEDs were burning when I turned it on/reset it). Returned it to supplier and they couldn't find any lightning damage so they swapped it out for a new one.

For the new one I purchased a surge protector plug for the phone line and the router, and all is working fine.
